image-update is currently very simple in how it determines what to install -- it upgrades all the packages installed on the system. That may bring in new packages if any existing package (such as redist_cluster or slim_install) has a dependency on a new package. By default, all device driver packages are installed on your system, which is why you have NVDAgraphics. And, due to the simplicity of image-update, even if you were to explicitly remove that package, it would be reinstalled because the higher-level clusters you most likely have installed would bring it in again. That won't be fixed until we have an intent log to keep track of what you actually want and don't want on your system.
